A Cleveland girl who had great liking for
lying around on the beach, thought it great fun
to have herself buried In the sand this morning,
by her companions. She was made comfortable
and fast, and her straw hat was thrown over her
face to keep the sun out Of her eyes. She en-

by an awful pressure She held SO fast with
the sand and the strange additional weight that
she couldn't bulge but she contrived to let out
an awful shrek from under her straw hat. The
pressure was instantly removed, her hat
knocked off her face, and a young man and his

The Pima Indians select several promising
youths of their tribe from time to time for
postaries of their traditions, Judge J. d.
Walker says, and they carefully instructed
in the historical legends pertaining their
tribe. being required to commit them faithfully
to memory. They in turn instruct their sue
cessors, and thus preserve the traditions in the
exact language rected by their ancestors of
many years ago. They have knowledge of the
tribe that built the old Casa Grande and other
vast buildings. whose ruins now excite such
interest and curiosity. The descendants of this
tribe now live in Sonora, and from them it may
be possible TO learn much of the civilization that
once prevailed along the Gia river.

dealings with children, he said. that their en-

conscience will no more keep him out of harm
when exposed to temptation than his
Judgment will protect him against physical
injury when he is exposed to danger. Children
should not be subjected to temptation while the
undeyeloped moral nature is not strong enough
to resist. Mr.. Ballet showed the dangers of the
